The frail activist who has been on a hunger strike for nearly 16 years to protest alleged brutality by India's military told a court on Tuesday, July 26, 2016, that she'll give up her fast on Aug. 9 and stand as an independent candidate in elections early next year.

She was arrested three days after starting her fast on charges of attempting suicide and has since been force fed through a tube in her nose. (AP Photo/Anupam Nath, File)
